The most elderly 772 dates from 1995, but most joined the line since 2000. There are numerous 772s that are less than five years old.
That website just shows when the plane were "delivered" to United. Those that are showing less then five years old were "delivered" to United in the merger. That is not their true age. Click on one of the "newer" ones (2010 and newer) and you'll see what I mean.
